I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

More good news ! Be even better if there was a linked deal for club season ticket holders or something similar, I'd like to support our sponsors - have switched from worthingtons smooth flow to Tetleys already !
